DMARDs stands for disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and are used often to treat different forms of arthritis. DMARDs slow progression of arthritis by treating the immune system. They decrease joint damage as well. DMARDs do have side effects that may include upset stomach, liver problems, and blood problems such as anemia.
